Modern computer systems sometimes include processing nodes that, in turn, include multiple processing cores that execute instructions. In some environments, these processing cores are asynchronous both in terms of the executions that are processed as well as the speed, or frequency, at which the cores run. While running asynchronous cores is advantageous in terms of managing environmental factors, such as heat, they cause challenges in certain computing environments. One environment where asynchronous cores cause challenges is when running software partitions that span multiple nodes and multiple cores. A software application, such as a large application or an operating system, can often be configured to span multiple nodes and cores, but software errors often occur when these cores run at vastly different frequencies.
